Watch: Medicine Nobel winner Svante Paabo's colleagues celebrate his win by throwing him into a pond
The honour is normally reserved for a PhD.
Our new medicine laureate Svante Pääbo made a splash when his colleagues at @MPI_EVA_Leipzig threw him into a pond. Normally throwing a colleague into the pond happens when somebody receives a PhD, and they wanted to do it for Pääbo's #NobelPrize as well.
